In an argument yesterday with my DP he said "well (son and daughter) don't get pocket money and your kids do".
My response was that mine get pocket money because they earn it during the week.

If their mum doesn't give them pocket money then that is her choice. If DP wants to give them pocket money then that's his choice. But I'm not going to!
